ABSTRACT
Objetivo: analisar os processos de saúde, de medicamentos e de medicamentos antineoplásicos em Minas Gerais, em 2014 a 2020, a partir da comparação de diferentes bases de dados. Metodologia: foram utilizadas técnicas de pareamento de bases de dados entre os processos existentes no Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de Minas Gerais e os processos recebidos pela Secretaria Estadual de Saúde de Minas Gerais, descreveram-se as dificuldades encontradas na identificação e quantificação desses processos, e os resultados encontrados foram comparados com informações provenientes de outras fontes. Resultados: nas bases do Tribunal de Justiça de Minas Gerais foram identificados 564.763 processos de saúde. Houve um aumento significativo do número de processos até 2017 e uma estabilização, em patamares altos, a partir de 2017. Ao comparar com os resultados obtidos pelo Instituto Superior de Ensino e Pesquisa e pelo Laboratório de Inovação, Inteligência e Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável, houve uma importante divergência nos números de processos. Tomando como exemplo a judicialização de saúde contra o estado de Minas Gerais, não foi possível encontrar de forma direta todos os processos recebidos pela Secretaria Estadual de Saúde de Minas Gerais nas diversas bases fornecidas pelo Tribunal de Justiça de Minas Gerais, tendo sido necessária uma integração entre as diferentes bases de dados e uma busca adicional para identificar todos os processos. Conclusão: recomendam-se a padronização e organização dos dados dos processos judiciais em saúde, já na entrada de dados, para facilitar a realização de estudos quantitativos sobre a judicialização da saúde.
Objective: to analyze the health, drug, and antineoplastic drug lawsuits in Minas Gerais, in 2014 to 2020, from the comparison of different databases. Methodology: database pairing techniques were used to link lawsuits from the Minas Gerais State Court of Justice with the processes received by the Minas Gerais Health State Department, the difficulties encountered in identifying and quantifying these processes were described, and the results found were compared with information from other sources. Results: in the Minas Gerais State Court of Justice databases, 564,763 health lawsuits were identified in the studied period. There was a significant increase in the number of processes until 2017 and a stabilization, at high levels, from 2017 onwards. In comparison with the results obtained by the Institute of Higher Education and Research and the Laboratory of Innovation, Intelligence and Sustainable Development Goals there was a great divergence in the number of processes found. Conclusion: taking the health judicialization against Minas Gerais state as an example, it was not possible to directly find all the processes received by Minas Gerais Health State Department in the various databases provided by the Minas Gerais State Court of Justice, requiring integration between the different databases and an additional search to identify all processes.

ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the 100 most-cited articles in DH and analyze their characteristics. Material and Methods: A search was performed on the Web of Science (WoS) and the 100 most-cited articles were selected. The following data were extracted: citations, year of publication, authorship, institution, country, journal, language, study design, topic of interest, conflict of interest (COI), and sponsorship. The VOSviewer software was used to visualize bibliometric networks. Poisson regression analysis was performed to measure associations between several citations and the characteristics of the studies. Results: The number of citations ranged from 346 to 48. The most-cited article was published in 1997 by Holland in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology. This journal published the most papers, followed by the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation and Journal of Dentistry. Laboratory research, review, and clinical trial were the study designs most prevalent. Reviews (p<0.05; PR= 1.853) and method development studies (p<0.05; PR= 1.853) had a more chance to present more citations. The main topics of interest were the clinical effectiveness of desensitizers and in vitro analysis of dentin morphology. Sponsorship and COI were underreported. England and USA presented the greatest number of citations and connections in the coauthorship network map. Conclusion: Most of the articles were original research, and their topics of interest were mainly the clinical effectiveness of desensitizing agents and dentin morphology.

ABSTRACT Objective: DATASUS is the Brazilian Public Unified Health System (SUS) department responsible for providing health data that are used as a primary source of data in several studies on surgery and surgical specialties although its main limitations have not been previously reviewed. The objective of this work is to synthesize information from studies on surgery that used DATASUS systems as a data source and to identify the main gaps in this platform. Methods: a scoping review was conducted according to the PRISMA-ScR method to identify papers on surgery, and other surgical specialties, that used the DATASUS platform as a primary data source. No restrictions were imposed regarding the type of study or year of publication. Grounded Theory was used to analyze the content of the articles. Results: 248 works were initially analyzed and 47 were included in the final analysis of this study. The original articles included were published between 2009 and 2022 and the majority (12.76%, n=6) were published in the Journal of the Brazilian College of Surgeons. Retrospective studies (40.43%, n=19) were the most common type of study found. Content analysis of the articles identified four predominant domains in the scientific literature about the limitations of using DATASUS in surgical research: lack of data, reliability, precision and data integration. Conclusion: the information systems available in DATASUS are the largest source of information about the SUS, but the scientific literature on the quality of data available in these systems remains scarce and studies aimed at measuring this metric are necessary.
RESUMO Objetivo: o DATASUS é o departamento do SUS responsável por disponibilizar dados de saúde que são empregados como fonte primária de dados em diversos estudos sobre cirurgia e especialidades cirúrgicas, embora principais limitações não tenham sido revisadas anteriormente. O objetivo deste trabalho é sintetizar as informações de estudos sobre cirurgia que utilizaram sistemas do DATASUS como fonte de dados, identificando as principais lacunas. Métodos: uma revisão de escopo foi conduzida de acordo com o método PRISMA-ScR para a identificação de trabalhos sobre cirurgia, e outras especialidade cirúrgicas, que utilizaram a plataforma DATASUS como fonte primária de dados. Nenhuma restrição foi imposta em relação ao tipo de estudo ou ano de publicação. A Teoria Fundamentada em Dados foi utilizada para a análise do conteúdo dos artigos. Resultados: 248 trabalhos foram inicialmente analisados e 47 foram incluídos na análise final deste estudo. Os artigos originais incluídos foram publicados entre 2009 e 2022, maioria (12,76%, n=6) foi publicada na Revista do Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgiões. Estudos retrospectivos (40,43%, n=19) foram o tipo de estudo mais comum encontrado. A análise dos artigos identificou quatro domínios predominantes na literatura científica acerca das limitações do uso de DATASUS em pesquisas em cirurgia: falta de dados, confiabilidade, precisão e integralização dos dados. Conclusão: os sistemas de informação dispostos no DATASUS constituem a maior fonte de informações sobre o SUS, porém a literatura científica sobre a qualidade dos dados dispostos nestes sistemas permanece escassa e trabalhos direcionados a mensurar essa métrica são necessários.

Su principal vínculo son las Instituciones de Educación Superior y las asociaciones científicas, están indexadas en mayor proporción en Google Scholar y Latindex, apareciendo una minoría en las colecciones de Web of Science y Scopus. Se observa que el grupo de periódicos científicos de Educación Física está consolidado y conforma la dinámica interna de este campo académico-científico.
Abstract The objective was to elaborate an overview of Brazilian physical education scientific journals within the current dynamics in the academic-scientific field. In Qualis Periódicos of CAPES [Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, Coordination for Improvement of Higher Education Staff], we searched for data available on Brazilian physical education journals, whose websites were accessed and analyzed. The data underwent content analysis, performed with the support of the MaxQDA® software. 39 journals were identified, with a focus and scope covering various themes and objects in physical education, mostly implemented in the 1990s and 2000s. Journals have as their main link higher education institutions and scientific associations and they are indexed with a higher proportion in Google Scholar and Latindex, with a minority appearing in the collections of the most disputed indexers such as Web of Science and Scopus. It is perceived that the group of scientific journals of physical education is consolidated and they make up the internal dynamics of this academic-scientific field.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Background: To analyze the temporal evolution of research on Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) published by the Journal of the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine (JBSTM). Methods: We performed an analysis of the scientific production in JBSTM on NTDs using an advanced search, which included authors' descriptors, title, and abstract, and by combining specific terms for each NTDs from 1991 to 2021. Data related to authors, countries of origin, institutions, and descriptors, were evaluated and analyzed over time. Bibliographic networks were constructed using VOSviewer 1.6.16. Results: The JBSTM published 4,268 scientific papers during this period. Of these 1,849 (43.3%) were related to NTDs. The number of publications on NTDs increased by approximately 2.4-fold, from 352 (total 724) during 1991-2000 to 841 (total 2,128) during 2011-2021, despite the proportional reduction (48.6% versus 39.5%). The most common singular NTDs subject of publications included Chagas disease (31.4%; 581/1,849), leishmaniasis (25.5%, 411/1,849), dengue (9.4%, 174/1,849), schistosomiasis (9.0%; 166/1,849), and leprosy (6.5%, 120/1,849), with authorship mostly from Brazil's South and Southeast regions. Conclusions: Despite the proportional reduction in publications, JBSTM remains an important vehicle for disseminating research on NTDs during this period. There is a need to strengthen the research and subsequent publications on specific NTDs. Institutions working and publishing on NTDs in the country were concentrated in the South and Southeast regions, requiring additional investments in institutions in other regions of the country.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the performance of the Systematic Review Support web-based system for the identification of duplicate records compared with similar software tools. Methods A methodological study was conducted assessing the automated process of de-duplication performed by the Systematic Review Support web-based system (version 1.0) versus the EndNote X9® and Rayyan® systems, adopting hand-checking as the benchmark reference for comparisons. A set of studies on three topics related to cystic fibrosis retrieved from the Pubmed, Embase and Web of Science electronic databases was used for testing purposes. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and area under the ROC curve of the software systems were compared to the benchmark values for performance evaluation. Results The database searches retrieved 1332 studies, of which 273 (20.5%) were true duplicates. The Systematic Review Support tool identified a larger proportion of true duplicates than the other systems tested. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the Systematic Review Support tool exceeded 98%. Conclusion and implications for practice The Systematic Review Support system provided a high level of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in identifying duplicate studies, optimizing time and effort by reviewers in the health field.

Background: Drug-drug interactions are quite prevalent, especially in the geriatric population with comorbidities. It affects the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of the medications they use. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to analyze and identify potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) in hypertensive patients using Medscape databases. Materials and Methods: A prospective and observational study was conducted in the Hypertension clinic of KMC, Chennai, for 3 months during November 2019–January 2020. Hypertensive patients of both sexes attending hypertension clinics with an age of more than 18 years and taking more than two antihypertensive drugs were included in the study. The use of Medscape databases enabled the appropriate data to be gathered and evaluated for pDDIs. Results: Three hundred patients in all were enrolled for the trial. One hundred and forty out of the 300 patients had pDDIs. Out of 140 patients, the majority (55%) were between the ages of 40 and 60. Males (56.4%) had a higher prevalence of pDDIs than females (43.6%). Atenolol, enalapril, and furosemide were the most frequently used medications in the present study that caused pDDIs, accounting for 29.8%, 19.5%, and 18.6%, respectively. Conclusion: The prevalence of pDDIs was found to be 46.6% overall, and an increase in comorbidities and polypharmacy were revealed to be important risk factors for the emergence of several pDDIs. Most of the antihypertensives were shown to interact frequently with calcium carbonate.
ABSTRACT
RESUMEN El identificador de objeto digital, conocido en inglés como digital object identifier y abreviado DOI, surgido en 1997, es una cadena alfanumérica única que identifica un contenido electrónico y proporciona un enlace permanente a su ubicación en internet. A 25 años de la implementación de esta herramienta, todavía quedan muchas revistas con un impacto considerable que no cuentan con DOI. Cuba no lo tiene porque le es negado por las grandes agencias registradoras. Fue objetivo de los autores de esta comunicación destacar la importancia del DOI como herramienta básica para el control de la documentación digital. Se concluyó que su principal aporte es asegurar la identificación persistente y unívoca de un documento, a través de un registro sistemático central de sus metadatos. Se recomienda que siempre que esté disponible el DOI en línea, se utilice en la cita bibliográfica, para mejorar la visibilidad de las revistas y los propios investigadores.
ABSTRACT The Digital Object Identifier, abbreviated as DOI and emerged in 1997, is a unique alphanumeric string that identifies electronic content and provides a permanent link to its location on the Internet. Twenty-five years after the implementation of this tool, there are still many journals with a considerable impact which do not have DOIs. Cuba does not have it because it is denied by the big registration agencies. The objective of this article was to highlight the importance of the DOI as a basic tool for the control of digital documentation. We concluded that its main contribution is to ensure the persistent and unique identification of a document, through a central systematic record of its metadata. It is recommended that whenever the DOI is available online, it is used in the bibliographic citation, to improve the visibility of the journals and the researchers themselves.

Objective: To estimate the frequency of infections and to describe the pattern of these infections among patients diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE) treated at the Central Military Hospital (HOMIL). Methods: A descriptive study was carried out using an administrative database of the military hospital, we used a validated algorithm that classifies patients as having SLE in administrative databases. Infection was defined as an event with main diagnosis using the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) coding algorithm or by searching the antibiotics prescription database, additionally, we abstracted some variables related to SLE status in the group of patients in whom infections were documented during the infection event. Results: 237 SLE patients were identified. The mean age was 41.9 years (CI 29.0-54.3), 80% were female, 97.7% used conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Of these 237 patients, 22 (9.4%) met the operative definition of infection, in this group the mean age was 44.3 years (SD 16.4). All the 22 patients received conventional DMARDs and none of them had concomitant biologic therapy. In this group of patients, the most common type of infection was bacterial (72.7%), followed by viral (9.1%) including a patient with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Conclusion: Hospital administrative databases can be a useful source of information for monitoring outcomes that generate significant morbidity and mortality in patients with SLE, in the group of patients in whom infections were documented, bacterial infections were the most frequent. The most documented clinical findings were leukopenia, systemic steroid therapy, and concomitant disease activity.
Objetivo: Estimar la frecuencia de las infecciones y describir su patrón de presentación en pacientes con diagnóstico de lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) atendidos en el Hospital Militar Central (Homil) en Bogotá, Colombia. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo en el que se utilizó una base de datos administrativa del Hospital Military se empleó un algoritmo validado que clasificó a los pacientes con LES en las bases de datos administrativas. La infección se definió a partir de los códigos CIE-10 o por la búsqueda en la base de datos de la prescripción de antibióticos; adicionalmente, en las historias clínicas del grupo de pacientes en los que se documentaron infecciones, se revisaron algunas variables relacionadas con el estado de LES durante el evento de la infección. Resultados: Se identificaron 237 pacientes con LES, cuya edad media fue de 41,9 años (IC 29,0-54.3), el 80% eran mujeres y el 97,7% usaba medicamentos antirreumáticos modificadores de la enfermedad (DMARD) convencionales. De estos 237 pacientes, 22 (9,4%) cumplieron con la definición operativa de infección; en este grupo la edad media fue de 44,3 anos (DE = 16.4). Los 22 pacientes recibieron DMARD convencionales y ninguno recibió terapia biológica concomitante. En este grupo, el tipo de infección más común fue la bacteriana (72,7%), seguida de la viral (9,1%), incluido un paciente con infección por SARS-CoV-2. Conclusiones: Las bases de datos administrativas hospitalarias pueden ser una fuente útil de información para el seguimiento de los eventos que generan una morbimortalidad significativa en los pacientes con LES. En el grupo de pacientes en los que se documentaron infecciones, las infecciones bacterianas fueron las más frecuentes y los hallazgos clínicos más comúnmente documentados fueron la leucopenia, la terapia con esteroides sistémicos y la actividad de la enfermedad concomitante.
